יֵ֭לְכוּ מֵחַ֣יִל אֶל־חָ֑יִל יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃
Ils s’avancent avec une force toujours croissante, pour paraître devant Dieu à Sion.
Tractate Soferim
"Let me tell of the decree" (Psalm 2:7) is holy - but the sages say it's not. "before God אל אלהים in Zion" (Psalm 84:8) the first is not holy, but the second is. "To come before God אל אל in judgement" (Job 34:23) - the first is not holy, bur the second is. "Immanuel עמנו אל" the name (Isaiah 7:14) and "God is with us עמנו אל" the phrase (Isaiah 8:10) - the first is not holy, the second is is holy. The first can be erased, the second cannot be erased.
Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit
Rebbi Jonah said in the name of Rebbi Ḥama bar Ḥanina: He who dies in the seven years of Gog119Described in Ez. Chapters 38–39. In the opinion of the preacher here, the days of Gog are immediately followed by the coming of the Messiah and the resurrection of the dead. According to this opinion, one who dies immediately before the resurrection has no part in it, otherwise he would not have died. has no part in the Future World. Its sign is, he who ate at the preliminary wedding feast120Cf. Demay p. 484. shall eat at the wedding feast. Rebbi Yose heard this and said, is that true? So far there is repentance for the Future World121Everybody has his chance at the Future World.! Rebbi Jonah in the name of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ashi122He is Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi. In the Babli, Berakhot 64a, his statement is quoted as originating with Rav.: In the future, fellows will exert themselves from synagogues to houses of study. What is the reason? (Ps. 84:8) “They will go from strength to strength, he will see the Power, God, in Zion,” until he will see the Power, God, in Zion123This Zion is the Heavenly Zion, place of the resurrection, since in this world, God cannot be seen. This leads to the next paragraph on those who have part in the resurrection..
Berakhot
R. Levi b. Hiyya said[2]: He who goes out from the Synagogue and enters the House of Study to occupy himself with Torah is worthy to receive the presence of the Shekinah; as it is said, "They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion" (Ph. Ixxxiv. 8).
